EAI will be back in Nepal for two foot trimming workshops this November.
Taught by EAI founder and CEO Carol Buckley, the workshops provide a unique, life-changing experience. Participants are asked to sponsor a mahout, with whom they'll work side-by-side, honing and gaining skills to improve elephants' health and welfare in immediate, tangible ways.
Please note:
the workshop is appropriate for professionals seeking to learn or enhance their foot trimming skills.
When & Where:
- November 11-15, 2019: Tiger Tops Elephant Camp, Amaltari
- November 18-22, 2019: Sauraha

Help a Mahout Attend the Workshop
EAI supporters often ask what they can do to help. You can make an important contribution by sponsoring a mahout to attend the workshop.
Poorly paid and low status, mahouts have few chances to improve their skills. Mahouts who have participated in past EAI workshops were hungry for information and excited to improve their skills. And when they leave the workshop, they are eager to share what they've learned with their fellow mahouts back home.
For only $50, you will cover a mahout's transportation, housing, food and a small stipend.
